Mierendorffplatz

Mierendorffplatz is a roughly 9,000 m2 square in northern Charlottenburg at the junction of Keplerstrasse and Kaiserin-Augusta-Allee, laid out in 1897 as a Wilhelmine ornamental garden. In 1950 it was renamed after the Social Democrat resistance figure Carlo Mierendorff. It is now protected as a garden monument: mature lime trees, a central flower bed and benches define the layout, with corner shops and Wilhelmine apartment blocks around the edge. The square serves as the everyday meeting point of the neighbourhood on Mierendorffinsel.
